1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman from Muhammad ibn al-Hakim who has said the following:

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah , about a man who is a non- Arab with a weak woman and an Arab camel man who takes them to leave ’Arafat and pass along with them through al-Jam‘ (place of assembly al-Muzdalifah) to Mina’, without allowing them to disembark in al-Jam‘. He (the Imam) said, ’Had they been able to perform one Salat (prayer) in it (al-Jam‘) it would have been sufficient for them.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if they cannot perform one Salat (prayer) there ? 5 He (the Imam) said, ‘They can speak of Allah; if they say Dhikr of Allah (speak of Allah), it is sufficient for them. ‘“
